RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the amount of $75,000 from the City of Walnut Creek for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades to the Ygnacio Valley Library parking lot, for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Library will pay for the subsequent paving work after the ADA upgrades are completed for an estimated additional amount of $395,000.

BACKGROUND:

The CDBG program is funded by the federal government through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The primary objective of this program is to help develop viable urban communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity, principally for low and moderate income persons. The cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Walnut Creek, and Contra Costa County, on behalf of all the other cities and the county unincorporated area (the Urban County), joined to form the Contra Costa HOME and CDBG Consortium. Together these jurisdictions cover all of Contra Costa County and have a joint, integrated funding application for these funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

ADA improvements to the Ygnacio Valley Library parking lot will be delayed.
